My kids were gone, and came home just as it finished, and I feel like I need a few hours to debrief myself.

Thank you, Victoria, for guiding us into those inner rivers and oceans.”

"Its been two months since discovering words in this way for the first time. Thank you Victoria Erickson.
95 pieces, and the words just keep on flowing. Every day, it feels like magic.
Sometimes I write from a place of pain, sometimes intense joy, sometimes i just play. Always open and listening to what wants to be written.
Often times the words are from another time, and quite often they don’t seem to be about me. But it’s always, always felt. Deeply. Written intuitively. From and through my body."

- Jo Boniszewski

Victoria, thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me find my true voice. I know you'll say it has always been there and I needed only to bring it out.

I was up early today and looked at a beautiful photo that a friend shared and this is what I wrote...
After the timed prompts - I literaly wrote this 5 mins... Again Victoria Erickson I have to say I have procrastinaged with my writing for ages...
And now I can write something like this in 5 mins just blows my mind!
You are right I think this is going to be addictive :)"

Delicious x”
